Yu Zuck fuck Trump

SeeReax ayw seereax

Lmfaooo facts f trump

Tired of Fools oh identity politics, such a nice argument you have there. Anything else?

Dislike for Trump is completely apolitical to me at this point. I was open minded when he got elected, but he proved me wrong.

+googley98 Explain. The economy is growing at an incredible rate, and 1.6 million jobs have been created. While I don't agree with all his policies and his impulsive mouth, he's actually doing shit compared to Obama, who was all bark but no bite.

The economy economic growth is an after effect of Obama's efforts. Just like when Obama first got into office and the country was still suffering from Bush's aftereffect. Just wait a few years, and you'll see how much of a buffoon Trump really is.

jj 172 And I imagine you also object to "Faux" News being so transparently rightist...despite proclaiming itself as a - you know - NEWS OUTLET?

Their*

Murphy Jones they need lavar

Murphy Jones it's gold

Except when Shaq is on his Man Period

Opporcoonist

Two of the smarter black men that are on t.v.! They can think for themselves and don't follow like sheep.

gary carrington Trump would be destroyed in a debate, because he does not have the intellect to debate like an adult.

StevenC32 smh maybe that's a point

It might help him come to some sort of agreement because they ask all the Right questions too and know how to answer for the public

Is the relevant to this topic of conversation or are you just looking to deflect responsibility?

Ahmad Rabbani Amen! well said

Ahmad Rabbani ever seen these NBA players talk to reporters? No? Okay...

They are not even close to as disrespectful as Trump is. And as for GSW specifically, it is the most composed, well-mannered team in the NBA right now in my opinion (with the exception of Dray).

Its not about changing his mind. It's about having the opportunity to talk about things you dislike ON HIS FACE. That's the ultimate platform you could have to make a change. See the problem? Players want to take a knee during the anthem to "protest", but they're cowards to meet the president AND PROTEST IN HIS FUCKING FACE. COWARDS.

Championship Barbosa well said.

what an idiot. The Caucasian Jew is not "for" your culture. For one, blacks in america dont have a culture, so i'm not sure what culture you are referring to.

Davy Crockett - ANGRY WHITE TRUMP SUPPORTER

Davy Crockett why you mad for 😂😂😂

Max is for himself. I doubt that dude has a compassionate bone in his body. Says he wouldn’t have a potentially mind changing discussion with someone he disagrees with because of a photo op??? He would skip a meeting that could possibly open the eyes of the leadership in this country because of a photo op!!! Swallow your pride and have the conversation. No conversation = no change. He’s no different than who he’s against. Just as stubborn.

Broseph Montana he's not for the black culture because we don't have a culture and we'll never be equal to whites or Jews

andre mask please

Vince Nguyen how do you legislate the misuse of a firearm by a police officer? When police break laws that are currently in place, they don't get indicted and when they do they get lesser sentences than someone who runs a dog fighting ring (think Michael Vick). You don't think someone has considered and tried your "if you really want to see change," by-the-book approach? If it were as easy as what the casual RU-vid commenter can come up with, we as a nation wouldn't be where we are.

Vince Nguyen it's not protesting the national anthem it's raising awareness of continual brutality that is unchecked. Don't let them get you twisted to the anthem.

Andre Hart I know right? No one is protesting the anthem. That's what everyone seems to think.

because protesting athletes, and intelligent politicians capable of making a change are two very different things. it doesnt take a genius to know that theres something wrong with the current state of race relations in america. but i guarantee you that not a single one of those guys has any good ideas on how to fix it. as it stands, all they can do is open a conversation about it. i think they went about doing that in a wierd way with protesting the national anthem, which is a much more divisive thing to do than was necessary. but regardless, they did their part in drawing enough attention to make it a common discussion. so now its up to the people who actually know what theyre talking about and dont get their money playing with a football to start making those changes.

deets987 I appreciate the dialog And I absolutely have several great ideas to get it better immediately!! First we have to do a better job acknowledging it......I see too many comments like racism doesn't exist, blacks need to get over it etc....

StopDMingMe it's gonna happen one day, you too scared to live in it. You scared of being drafted into the military. Trump is protecting us by trying to take out the threat. It makes America look strong and lets people know not to fuck with us. North Korea could drop a nuclear missal right in your city. Trump is protecting us by responding back. Obama was a pussy and never wanted confrontation and made us look weak

Ohh he will soon.

StopDMingMe Trump or Kim Jun Un?

All of this stuff is to distract you from the fact it's almost there to being a war already

Yes these liberals actually feel like north Korea is a threat because trump called him rocketman when him and his family been here since bill clinton and called a Obama a Monkey. Heck he was even threatning war when that movie called 'the interview' with James Franco came out. Leftists need to stop war mongering because clearly half the country doesn't buy it. It's weird how the left it's blaming trump for provoking a dictator who from time wants to destroy the west.

A m a r Singg Remember when Charles Barkley had that race in anerica show. Now they going to do a show a bout Charles Barkley going to Chicago to find out a bout the crime .

Tod Wilkinson you're a piece of shit

The Democratic Party started the KKK. They were against black people becoming citizens, owning property, and voting. They were for Jim Crow Laws. Only when they were able to vote did the Democratic Party begin to pander to them.

Real talk

Tod Wilkinson he was about 30. Even though he wasn't in the league anymore. He was allowed to defend his 3 point championship at the all star game

The KKK supports the GOP so catch up to current events....

Wayne Gertsky they're talking about Donald Trump the white nationalist the racist son of a bitch. Yes Bill Clinton was no Goody Two Shoe and I didn't vote for him neither.. but what talking about this crazy Mad Man Donald Trump.

Daz (1) you don't need to use all-caps like a 5-year-old, it doesn't make your points any stronger or make you look any smarter 2) I never said Trump "needs" media attention. But whether he needs it or not, why would Steph help him out in any way by going and giving him that free publicity? Steph said months ago he's not going cuz of Trump's comments on women. Considering how Steph feels about his daughters, wife, and mother, why would he even shake this man's hand? He's not contractually obligated to do it, so he's not going to. Now Trump wants to act like he's the one taking away the invitation lol ok...

Daz I'm telling black people how they protest? 😂 name one time I brought up race? You won't be able to, because I didn't, your mind for some reason just decided to go there. I was clearly defending Steph's decision, which you condescendingly and arrogantly try to misconstrue. "Steph was talking from a position of entitlement/expectation"? You clearly haven't been following competitive sports very long. It's an annual tradition for the champions of the NBA, NFL, and various other pro and college leagues to go visit the White House the year they win. It's not a "presumption" or a leap to assume that tradition would go on. Tom Brady was asked literally the exact same question every time he won the Super Bowl, even before an official invitation came from the White House. In this case,Steph was ASKED point blank by a reporter in July whether or not he'd go, and Steph said he didn't want to. What exactly would you want Steph to say to make you feel more comfortable??? "Steph started it"? He was asked whether he'd go if the White House kept the annual tradition (again, the reporter presumed in the question the invite would come). Steph gave his answer and a reason why. If Steph said he would go I wouldn't say shit about it. The reason this is a story now is because Trump once again wanted to get the last word in and posterize and sent out that ridiculous tweet. Don't get mad that all these athletes are coming to Steph's defense. Trump did this to himself...

Daz ….either you have reading comprehension issues or are just typing with pure emotion and not paying attention. I’m the one who said it was a reasonable expectation for Steph to assume he would get invited based on the reporter’s question and based on it being an annual tradition. YOU are the one who called him “entitled” for assuming he’d be invited, like he was sooo arrogant for thinking he'd get an invite. 😂 You’ve got some nerve calling other people high. Let's be real, you’re not mad because Steph assumed he was invited, you’re mad because Steph threw shade and made that “ass-et” comment. Ok, that’s fine. I never called Steph a “victim” but I am definitely calling Trump an embarrassment. Trump supporters criticize his “haters” for being weak and thin-skinned? GTFO look at the public responses the President gives out every time he feels the slightest bit offended. When Obama was president, Trump and millions of his supporters accused Obama of not being born in this country (ZERO evidence to back that claim up). I don’t recall Obama throwing shade on social media because he felt offended. I agree with your second comment that it would be nice if sports was pure and I don't get my political views from them, I just call it how i see it. Steph Curry’s “ass-et” comment doesn't come anywhere close to Trump’s comments directed at NBA and NFL players in the past few months.

so does your boy shannon sharpe bitch

I said the exact same thing

Racist...

Max isn't a Marxist, he is just a complete moron.
